This list is immediately exposed as garbage because it doesn’t have “Jingle Bells” by the barking dogs.
And I LIKE the hippo song AND the 12 Days of Christmas. :p
And I LIKE the hippo song AND the 12 Days of Christmas. :pPeople forget "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" was cooked up on behalf of a fundraising drive to bring a new young hippo to the local zoo where Gayla Peevey lived. It was an unexpected hit record.
As for "The Twelve Days of Christmas" . . .
Nobody has ever given me twelve drummers drumming (even Ginger Baker's Air Force only had three drummers at maximum), eleven pipers piping (not on Christmas, anyway, you have to wait until St. Patty's Day for those), ten lords a-leaping (not even when I saw the execrable The Lords of Flatbush---they were a quartet---though who knows what happens when you shock a session of the House of Lords), nine ladies dancing (I'm a one-woman man, thank you very much), eight maids a-milking (I wasn't a farm boy, dairy or otherwise), seven swans a-swimming (the most I've ever seen in one sighting is four), six geese a-laying (*honk* no comment), five golden rings (well, I once got a sticker with the Olympics symbol in gold, but that was just a sticker), four mockingbirds (I've only ever had one canary), three French hens (does watching Julie & Julia and seeing some of the scenes around the Cordon Bleu count?), two turtle doves, or a partridge, in a pear tree, a family, or otherwise.
However, here's my favourite rendition of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" . . .

OMG,I haven’t thought of that in years. Best laugh I’ve had all day.
